The question of my background always comes up when I tell people I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. So, let’s go there. First, know that I grew up in an interesting family. My father weighed well over 300 pounds at points in my youth. How he got there on the food my mother made is questionable to this day. Yes, my mother can not cook. If it didn’t come in a box or can – look out! To this day we reminisce about the now infamous “Hawaiian Delight” – ground Spam balls baked with canned pineapple. Old friends still joke about our family’s ability to make a meal out of Rice-A-Roni and ground hamburger. I was the only person at college that thought the dorm food was a gourmet meal. Thanks to a position with the school’s Dance Company, regular exercise, and a pretty small stomach (yours would be too after 18 years of bad food), I didn’t gain the freshman fifteen and maintained 119 pounds.

Needless to say, my knowledge base regarding nutrition was nil. By my second year of college I was living in my own apartment and had to start creating my own meals. I remember calling my mom to get the recipe for her weekly special (when my dad was bowling) – creamed tuna on toast. Yep, it wasn’t long before the weight started coming on and my health started declining. This being the late ’80’s, “healthy” was all about juicing; so, I bought myself a juicer and learned about fasting. Weight and health both improved, in a fashion.

After college, the early ’90’s brought “healthy” being low/no fat diets. I was right on board. Yes, I did get thin. Thin enough to get extra work as a model/actress. I carried a dial on my key chain and logged every bite of fat I ate. I still juiced. In fact, every time I left my then-boyfriend I’d show up at my friends house with my dog on a leash and my juicer under my arm – the only things I needed. For full disclosure, I found a picture from this time frame – it’s a bit grainy since it’s an old slide, but it gives you an idea. Mostly skin and bones, no muscle or tone, weight about 130 pounds.

Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse

Cleansing the liver and gallbladder from gallstones is one of the most powerful approaches to improving your health. It is simple to do, taking only a week, with very little disruption of your regular schedule. I gave it a try for the first time last month. The plan involves drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in one cup of water, four times a day for six days. On the sixth day I had a colon hydrotherapy treatment. Then nothing but water after 2 p.m. In the evening, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. I drank Epsom salt in water – not all that tasty, but I’ve had worse. Next an olive oil/grapefruit juice mix at 10 p.m. and laying down immediately. Lying there perfectly still for 20 minutes without speaking was a great moment for meditation. Sleep. Back to the Epsom salt drink at 6 a.m. & 8 a.m. Fresh pressed fruit juice at 10 a.m., fresh fruit at 10:30 a.m. and light lunch at 11:30 a.m.

The results were amazing!!!!! I quit counting at 282 pea-size or bigger stones. I didn’t even count the little ones – they would have been in the thousands. Most of the gallstones were pea green and float because they contain bile compounds. Yeah, I looked and touched. The stones were soft as putty, thanks to the action of the apple cider vinegar. Which is why there was no discomfort in passing them. My liver began to function more efficiently, my energy was increased, and my clarity of mind was improved considerably. But I soon learned that all the stones were not removed in one cleanse. Stones from the rear of the liver will travel “forward” toward the two main bile ducts exiting the liver, so I waited until now to go another round.

The results continue to be amazing!!!! There were fewer gallstones but some were as much as one inch in diameter. There were more tan and white stones which sink. These are calcified gallstones that were released from the gallbladder and contain heavier toxic substances. Incredibly the liver’s self-repair and cleansing responses increased significantly, adding a great deal of effectiveness to this very important organ. I can’t believe how amazing I feel now. It’s like a whole new me has returned. I’ve got tons more energy, a spring in my step, better mental acuity, and a calmer demeanor.

Maybe I’ll do another one after the first of the year. Now that I’ve started cleansing my liver and gallbladder, I’d like to keep going until no stones come out.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote, “And then, some morning in the second week, the mind wakes, comes to life again. Not in a city sense – no – but beach-wise. It begins to drift, to play, to turn over in gentle careless rolls like those lazy waves on the beach. One never knows what chance treasures these easy unconscious rollers may toss up, on the smooth white sand of the conscious mind; what perfectly rounded stone, what rare shell from the ocean floor.” This passage is from Gift from the Sea, one of my all time favorite reads.

It is poignant today as I begin this blog, a new journey. A journey that is to awaken my mind, as well as my body and spirit. A journey that is to allow my mind to drift and see what treasures may be unearthed. A journey that will hopefully bring me closer to a wholeness of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. So, I present a bucket to carry the treasures we find along the beach as the journey begins.
